In the early morning and evening hours, many dog owners who walk their dogs in Bicentennial Veterans Memorial Park are not cleaning up after their four-legged friends, said Pat Devine, chairman of the Bicentennial Veterans Memorial Park, Inc., which lobbied for the creation of the park, alongside the Throgs Neck Expressway, in the 1970s.

The group has teamed up with Community Board 10 to have City agencies have enforcement agents issue summonses, said Board 10 district manager Kenneth Kearns.

“A lot of people do take care of their responsibilities, but a good core of people do not,” Devine said. “We are asking help from the Parks committee of CB 10, which [I believe] is going to write a letter to Bronx Parks Commissioner Hector Aponte and ask that when these dog owners are fined, they receive the maximum fine allowed.”

City agencies have responded that they will send enforcement agents into the park between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m. to issue summonses to dog owners caught in the act, Devine said.

“We want this article to be a heads up to people who are walking their dogs and not cleaning up after them,” Devine said.

Since the park’s million-plus dollar renovations, red signs urging dog owners to clean up after their pooches have been posted along all paths leading into the park.
